Apparnently some kicks are reviewable, for example the Toledo - 
Syracuse game.

They reviewed an extra point kick and did not reverse the call, though
after game the Big East issued this statement:

After studying the videos of the Syracuse extra point attempt at 
2:07 of the fourth quarter, we have concluded that the ruling on the 
field that the kick passed between the uprights was incorrect, and 
that the replay official made an error in failing to reverse that 
ruling. In reviewing the video, we have determined that the angle 
from behind the kicking team shows conclusively that the ball passes 
outside the right upright.

Our review of the process determined that the replay official mistakenly 
focused his attention on the sideline angle, which proved to be 
distorted. We are confident that our officiating staff will learn 
from this situation in order to prevent a reoccurrence.
